Allan J Olson Pty Ltd: medal and badge makers of Adelaide (1966 to present)

Few vitreous enamel badge makers remain in business in Australia today. Similarly, there are not many privately owned medallists in Australia producing large quantities of medallions for clients. In this paper I provide the history of Allan J Olson Pty Ltd of Adelaide, which has produced quality badges and medallions for its clients throughout Australia for over 45 years. I also provide an insight into the production steps of the manufacture of vitreous enamel badges by Olsons.
